wanted to learn all about "acrylonitrile butadiene styrene" or ABS plastic
and found this interesting:

ended up learning enuf to be scared of melting this stuff with
solvent....now I know why the hcl acid grout cleaner started to make it get
hot and sticky!!! I have new respect for this plastic...they make car parts
and garden ponds from it....holds up a long time.

And I exemped chemistry!!  Should know better.  Wish I could remember all
that stuff now!!!

Gotta get back to my real life!!! So much to learn!!!
